description: "Gjin Bua Shpata was an Albanian ruler of the despotate of Arta in Western Greece with the title of Despot. Together with Pjetër Losha, he led raids into Epirus, Acarnania and Aetolia in 1358. As a victor in the battle of Achelous, he was recognized in early 1360s as a Despot of Aetolia and Acarnania by Simeon Uroš Nemanjić, who ruled from Thessaly as a self-proclaimed \"Emperor of Greeks, Serbs, and Albanians\". He also ruled over Naupactus (1378–1399) and inherited Arta (1370s–1399) from Peter Losha. He was born sometime in the first half of the 14th century in Epirus, as his father was a ruler in the region."
